The Heart of Every Renovation

When I wrote this section, I wanted to show people that renovation isn’t just about breaking walls or choosing tiles—it’s about transforming the way someone lives. Every successful renovation begins long before the first hammer hits. It starts with listening, understanding the lifestyle of the homeowner, and imagining how a space could work better for them. In this excerpt, I highlight how small decisions—like lighting placement, storage planning, or the materials we select—can completely reshape comfort and functionality. These “minor” choices are actually what give a project its soul.
